friend of mine as only got vermin tv package can he still get an internet connection if he gets a modem

Yes, he will need to split the feed though so he can connect the box and modem box at the same time.

If it's a subbed modem then it will not work anywhere else apart from your home. If it is a modded modem then their is a good chance that the MAC you are using is from his UBR so he will keep getting booted from the network.

That's what I said above, you are in the same UBR as the MAC he is using so that's why it won't work. Use a MAC that his from his UBR and you will be fine
